r/Relationships Mom Literally Smells Like Poo

A Reddit post from a 20-year-old woman reveals a shocking family betrayal: her boyfriend and her brother’s girlfriend were secretly sleeping together in her own home while she was away, even recording and sharing explicit videos. After discovering the affair through texts and a damning video of them having sex—where the woman called her boyfriend 'daddy'—she confronted both parties, leading to their immediate ejection from the house. Her brother, protective and furious, kicked out the girlfriend, and she ended the relationship with her boyfriend. The emotional fallout was intense, but she found closure and support in her brother’s solidarity. Later, another post details a husband who discovered his wife had cheated during their marriage, planned a divorce with her affair partner, and even moved into a shared apartment with him—complete with joint lease and furniture. Despite wanting to reconcile, he’s trapped by the logistics: his ex still sleeps with her lover, and the affair partner holds power over her financially. After months of denial and therapy, he finally ended it, realizing he’d wasted time clinging to a relationship that was already over. The episode closes with a deeply personal and awkward moment: a son confronting his mother about her severe halitosis, which he describes as smelling like literal poop, so bad it made his eyes water in a car. The post raises the uncomfortable question: if your own family won’t tell you you have turd breath, who will?
